BARENAKED LADIES
"Grade 9"
(Andy Creeggan / Jim Creeggan / Steven Page / Ed Robertson)

I found my locker and I found my classes
Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses
That guy is huge! That girl is wailin'
First day of school and I'm already failing

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

I've got a blue-and-red Adidas bag and a humongous binder
I'm trying my best not to look like a minor niner
I went out for the football team to prove that I'm a man
I guess I shouldn't tell them that I like Duran Duran

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

Well half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed
And none of them can help me study for my math test
Got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone
Guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath of Khan

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

Jim: They called me chicken legs
Andy: They called me four-eyes
Steve: They called me fatso
Tyler: They called me buckwheat
Ed: They called me Eddie

This is me in grade nine, baby, yeah this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

I've got a red leather tie and a pair of rugger pants
I put them on and I went to the high school dance
But Dad said I have to be home by eleven-
Aw man I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
Well this is me...

This is me in grade nine, baby, yeah this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

This is me in grade nine, baby, yeah this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
